Drapp: I came to Chelsea to win the championship, my father s grenade ball made me into the football pit.

June 5th, Chelsea officially announced the joining of England striker Drapp last night. The 22-year-old former Ipswich forward signed with Chelsea until 2031. After joining the Blues, Drapp accepted an interview with the club.

Talking about the love of football:

This requires a lifetime of struggle. I have been focusing on football since I was eight or nine years old, and I never thought of doing anything else and giving it all for it. This journey is long and arduous, and it may be difficult, but I always enjoy it. I just love football. Even if I am not a professional player, I will play football with my friends. Fortunately, I played well, and now my struggle has finally paid off. I am extremely happy to be able to represent Chelsea.

Memories about football:

My earliest football memory was watching my father play for Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium, his iconic grenade outbound ball! I will try my best to miss his game, and this growing environment has made me immerse myself in the football atmosphere early. This kind of influence made me yearn for playing professional football since I was a child, but I knew this path was not easy and I had to do my best.

The efforts my parents have given me are immeasurable. When my father played football, my mother would pay attention to weighing the growth of my younger brother and sister. I will never repay their kindness, but they are proud of me and I feel very happy.

Talking about rental experience:

Lease experience has taught me a lot, and these pasts eventually gathered into me now. A person will blend all kinds of experiences, so I draw experience from everywhere and then integrate them into a whole. I've been learning and improving.

Transfer to Ipswich:

The most important thing last summer was to transfer to Ipswich, and I got a lot of opportunities to play stably. And I need such an opportunity to show myself and show my strength. I'm grateful to Ipswich for giving me the opportunity, which is very important.

Talking about Chelsea:

I grew up watching Chelsea grow up. I understand the glorious history of this club and how incredible this team has been over the years. I came here to win the championship. The club is eager to return to the top, and we have the strength and players to achieve this goal. Maintaining the hunger and desire to win the championship and returning to where the Blues should be is, that's the core goal.
